And he's off to make his millions

Surprise a mate with a farewell gift from all the boys, so while he's on his path to success, he'll never forget his roots.

None of you are ever going to admit it to him face to face, but as proud as you are of him, everyone's a bit bummed that he's leaving.

Whether your friend is off to make his millions in the big end of town or simply set to be stationed elsewhere for a while, this photo gift from the boys, mounted on metal, is a noteworthy way to say goodbye.

Think of the most amazing adventure you shared together and mount a photo from that time on a single brushed aluminium print.

Choose an image that's bright and colourful. It's not about depressing the poor man into coming home - it's about inspiring him onto great heights.

Value a community volunteer

This farewell gift is a wonderful way to say thank you to many years of volunteer service, a keepsake that will mean a lot for many years to come.

Margaret has been a volunteer for 15 years incuding three terms as president of her local Rotary group. She's now ready to retire.

To get the look, everyone can write their messages directly onto the canvas after it's been printed or, if you're savvy with graphic design, you can get everyone to sign their messages first, scan them in and create a complete digital image that can then be printed onto a single canvas.
